The
blessing says:"Blessed are You Lord, our God, King of the
Universe, Who sanctified us with His commandments,
and has commanded us to kindle the light of the Sabbath!"The prayer says:"May it be your will the Lord, my God and God
of my forefathers, that You show favor to me, my husband and all of
my relatives; and that You grant us and all Israel a good long life;
that You remember us with beneficent memory and blessing; that You
consider us with a consideration of salvation and compassion; that
you bless us with great blessings, that You make our households complete;
that You cause Your Presence to dwell among us. Privilege me to raise
children and grandchildren who are wise and understanding, who will
love the Lord and fear God, people of truth, holy offspring
attached to the Lord who will illuminate the world with Torah
and good deeds and with every labor in the service of the Creator.
Please hear my supplication at this time in the merit of Sarah, Rivkah,
Rachel and Leah our mothers, and cause our light to illuminate that
it be not extinguished forever, and let our countenance shine so that
we are saved. Amen."
